Thanks for that jargon/ slang break down.. (You must have grown up in this era ;Cymon Templer) a lot of those slang words have changed.. This must be when cab was younger.. (Voices do change over time) although not sure which version is best but must say I like them all. over all very suave!..
Thats Cab Calloway singing. This song is filled with drug references & sexual innuendos such as, a "hoochie coocher" is a flapper, or a womans of "loose" morals. A "frail" is a delicate woman. "Cokey" refers to doing cocaine. "Kick that gong around" refers to smoking opium & her "dream" refers to her opium induced hallucinations. "Jaggin" refers to them smoking marijuana. " Wiggled her jelly roll" refers to her gyrating her hips and playing with her tits(sorry ladies).
Heavens to Hoagy Carmichel! This isn't Cab!!! Why in the world is his name on the tag line? Not that it isnt' a TOP NOTCH version of the song. It really swings! I was just expecting Cab himself. Oh well, thanks for posting it! CHEERS! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS to one & all!!! :)

This doesn't really sound like BBVD... AND it REALLY doesn't sound like Cab...
I've always wanted to know who did this version. NEVER could find any info tho. Sucks.

This isn't Cab Calloway, but it's the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. He has re-done several songs from the Big Band era.

This is my personal favorite version of this song. Could this be the Cab Calloway Orchestra led by Cab's grandson?
